Lighthearted sequel to an amazing book. An amazing way to explore philosophical themes through loveable characters as they explore a beautiful world. Chambers’ ‘Monk and Robot series’ are the first works I’ve read of her’s- and I’m excited to explore more :0)

If A Psalm for the Wild-Built is a cake, then A Prayer for the Crown-Shy is another, just as good if not better, cake.

This book features my favorite bits of its prequel and builds on it by simply adding more. More exploration of a post-utopian world, more philosophical ramblings between two queer characters that I would be fine with going on for three hundred pages, more robot being curious about human society and human being curious about robot society.

This is everything I want in a sequel, and I want 20 more of these little Panga non-binary bitches (/pos)

A Prayer for the Crown-Shy is a soothing book about connection, purpose, small comforts, and discovering what you need.

The themes of this book resonated so strongly with me. I loved the relationship between Dex and Mosscap, and between Mosscap and the other humans it came across in its effort to answer the question “what do humans need?”. Dex’s family was also lovely to meet, and seeing more of the communities on Panga was delightful.

Ask yourself, “what do you need, and how can someone help?”

This is the cozy sci-fi I didn’t know I needed. 5 stars.

Once again, this felt like a warm hug and a tender ease to my mind. I adore Becky Chambers for having written this series that is so soft and opens the mere possibility to think of a future in which life could be peaceful and more focused on internal questions or those to ponder within a community.
